Help with moving figures abroad!

I will be moving from the UK to Singapore in a few months' time. I will be in Singapore permanently so I will need to move all my figures with me. I have nearly 40 nendoroids and funko pops, all in their respective boxes. Does anybody have any advice, or recommendations for moving companies?

I am interested to know how much this costs for either EMS which is air and fast vs boat freight

I have 40 large figures that have to go from USA to an Asia country as well and wondering about cost. For boat freight I expect they will want us to put in on top of a wood pallet and weight is not counted compared to air.

edit: Oh, you have yours in your boxes already and I think I misremembered stuff about shipping being in there that isn't. Whoops! Hopefully someone finds it useful. Anyway, I can't recommend a company, but measure how much space the boxes take up and if they can go with other effects, it might end up cheaper to send it in a rented boat container. There WAS an article talking about that on here but I can't find it ><

Thank you so much! I will look into that. :)

Eijiakoey (hace 6 días) #54232909Do you know anybody who lives there? If you do, maybe you could pack them into a big box and ship it to them first. As a Singaporean I would recommend using EMS or DHL, both is good. Haven't had any issue with their services or packaging. Price wise is rather decent, normally I would choose EMS. Cause most of the time it's cheaper than DHL.

Yes, actually I am a Singaporean myself too and will be moving back home. I will look into EMS/DHL! Thank you :)

Interesting topic! I'm scheduled to move away from my apartment in about a year and half, and I am already dreading all the logistical nightmares that come with moving.

How should you pack your figures?
Should you ask a specialized company in that field for help?
Maybe I should sell some my stuff and travel lighter?
What is the maximum amount of figures to travel with?
